Peyragudes

The Skyvall gondola climbs straight from the spa town of Loudenvielle to the snow, linking two valleys at altitude. Peyragudes had its Hollywood moment as the opening scene of Bond's Spectre.

Purpose-built on the Peyresourde and Les Agudes plateaus. The bulk of the accommodation gives direct slope access.

Get to know the resort

Small but perfectly placed, Peyragudes is two sunny plateaus joined at altitude, with a gondola whisking you up from the spa village of Loudenvielle. It is a relaxed, family-friendly choice with wide pistes, big views and far fewer crowds than the famous names.

Good to know

  • The piste map leans gentle: 10 green and 16 blue runs against 11 red and 3 black, so beginners and early intermediates rarely run out of comfortable terrain.
  • The base sits at 1600 m and the top reaches 2400 m, a profile that holds snow well across a normal winter (score 82/100).
  • With 60 km of piste on 17 lifts, it is a mid-size area, easy to get to know in a long weekend.
  • The lifts typically turn for about 16 weeks a season, planning around late January to late February tends to land the most reliable cover.
